I recently acquired a Walther P22 and am curious if anyone else has one. Mine is quite finicky about the ammo that's fired through it. I'm not sure if it's because the ammo is old or what. Anyone else have this problem with their Walther P22?

P22 has a reputation of being finicky. I just sent mine back to S&W to have them look at it. I tried polishing the feed ramp and chamfering the barrel, it helped a LOT, but still struggled, especially with the first round.

The Walther P22 is the pistol we used at the NRA Basic Pistol Course I took recently. I had a several jams during the live ammo exercises. After the instructors tried cycling, stripping, spraying it, etc, I was given another to shoot. That jammed occasionally too. Some of the other students had jams as well. I donít know what kind/brand of ammo we were using. I didnít think to ask. Iím sure it was something cheap even for .22LR.

Iíve been reading that a lot of the .22 autos are finicky. I suspect it may be because they just donít have enough juice to operate a semiauto or that the quality control on the rounds are really poor.

CCI/HV is the brand most often mentioned as the one .22LR that works.
